Mariah Carey

*To celebrate the 30th anniversary of her debut album, Mariah Carey is releasing a memoir titled “The Meaning of Mariah Carey.” 

The book will be released in print and on Audible on September 29, through Andy Cohen Books, essence.com reports. 

Carey penned the memoir with former ESSENCE Fashion Editor, Michaela Angela Davis.

“It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments — the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams, that contribute to the person I am today,” wrote Carey in a statement on Instagram.

“The Meaning of Mariah Carey” was described through a press release as, “an improbable and inspiring journey of survival and resilience as she struggles through complex issues of race, identity, class, childhood and family trauma during her meteoric rise to music superstardom.”

“By pulling back the curtain on perceptions often told through the filtered lens of media, Carey bravely and beautifully walks through her battles with gender and power dynamics, emotional abuse, public embarrassments, personal failures and phenomenal victories,” the release read. “In her own words and song lyrics, Carey reveals untold moments and intimate experiences along with anecdotes of sacred moments with iconic figures to craft an honest, unique and vivid portrait of her extraordinary life.”

On Wednesday, Carey announced that she had finished writing her memoir by sharing a photo to Instagram.

“Though there have been countless stories about me throughout my career and very public personal life, it’s been impossible to communicate the complexities and depths of my experience in any single magazine article or 10-minute television interview,” she said. “Even then, my words were filtered through someone else’s lens, largely satisfying someone else’s assignment to define me.”

The singer continued: “The book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival and my songs. Unfiltered, I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.”

“Writing this memoir was incredibly hard, humbling and healing,” Carey concluded. “My sincere hope is that you are moved to a new understanding, not only about me but also about the resilience of the human spirit.”
